Semblance Pyrrha’s semblance is polarity. Basically, this means that she can manipulate magnetic forces, and specifically, this affects metallic objects. She can telekinetically move them pretty subtly to the point that others don't realize what she's doing unless they're looking hard enough.

Miló and Akoúo̱ Miló is Pyrrha's offensive weapon. It has three basic forms: it can be a sniper rifle, a javelin, or a short sword. Akoúo̱ is her form of defense: it’s a circular shield. She’s capable of throwing it much like a disc, and it’s capable of protecting her in the heat of battle.

Combat Physically strong and an experienced fighter, Pyrrha is not really someone you would want to get into a fight with.

Her name is Pyrrha Nikos.

When people look upon her, they see a hero. She is everything a good huntress should be: strong, talented, and selfless. They call her the Invincible Girl for her skill in battle is phenomenal, effectively matched by none. Tournaments are simple to her, and she wins with ease despite being so young. She graduates at the top of her class in Sanctum Academy, an accomplishment not to be taken lightly. Her face is slapped upon boxes of cereal and others look at her in awe when she walks past because to them, she is simply perfection. Talent and skill ooze out of her with every step she takes. When she steadies her arm to launch her javelin, she does so carefully, aiming for just the right spot. When she faces against an opponent, her faithful shield blocks every blow and her weapon appears to take them by surprise.

She uses her semblance to her advantage. Polarity is a gift, allowing her to manipulate metallic objects as she sees fit. Utilizing such a skill without anyone ever knowing is a huge advantage on her part. She makes slight movements to her own weapons as well as her opponents’, and doing so gives her the edge in combat. She always comes out as the winner.

The redhead is truly a marvel to behold.

She’s something of an enigma. Folks flock to her frantically in a continuous stream, starry eyed and chattering her ear away, yet she only feels a deep sense of loneliness. Once the novelty of meeting her wears off, potential friends believe that they are in the presence of a goddess and fear disappointing her. Just as quickly as they crowd around her, they flee from her. Her heart yearns for true companionship, yet she’s concerned that she is destined to be unable to find such friendship.

Perhaps, she hopes, Beacon Academy will be different. That’s where those hoping to be huntsmen and huntresses go to test their mettle and might against the soulless creatures of grimm roaming the world.

Upon arriving at Beacon, she is greeted by faces who are familiar with her. She recalls that one Weiss Schnee was desperate to be on a team with her, but the person who caught her eye was Jaune Arc. A boy who didn't recognize her, he looked upon her not as if he were looking upon some ethereal being, but as if he were looking at another human. He spoke to her as if he would speak to anyone else. Such behavior around her feels foreign and strange, yet she appreciates how he treats her as his equal.

Quickly, she settles into a team with three other members: Jaune, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren. Together, they form team JNPR. These teammates of hers would go out of their way to make her feel comfortable, and it’s the first time in a long time that she can say she has friends. They look at her as if she is something more than a model to be admired from afar; they look at her as if she is their companion, someone to depend upon, someone to laugh with, someone to cry with. Her team is everything to her, and she would do most anything for them.

Out of everyone at Beacon, Jaune is the one she feels closest with. She can’t fathom why he thinks so little of himself, and more than anything, she wants him to realize that he has worth. She wants him to realize that he’s a good leader, someone she’s proud to call her friend.

Jaune is the single most important person to her, and part of her wonders if there could be something more than friendship between them. But to him? She’s simply his friend. Nothing more, nothing less, and there isn't a single thing she can do to help that.

Before she knows it, the first semester of the year has come and gone. Big things are coming Beacon’s way: a tournament, and a dance.

Dueling and sparring are activities that she has perfected. The art of battle is one she has practically mastered; it is a dance she knows all too well. There isn’t a doubt in anyone's mind that she’ll qualify for the tournament. It’s no trouble for her as she bests her opponents, coming out as the winner in all of her matches.

Going to an actual dance, on the other hand, is a whole different world to her.

She wants to ask Jaune if he’ll go to the dance with her. She wants to be seen with someone she cares about and she wants to admit how she really feels, but when she sees that he’s hung up over trying to ask Weiss to dance with him, she knows she doesn’t stand a chance. She refuses to admit to him that she loves him as something more than a friend when he clearly doesn’t see her the same way.

She doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he says he’s certain she has men lined up to ask her out. Does he really not realize that people are intimidated by her? She decides against delving into the matter, opting to instead give him a vague answer about how others would not dare ask her to dance. Yet, he is so certain that she will be asked out by someone that he promises to put on a dress if she doesn’t arrive with a date strapped to her arm.

He won't ask her to dance, she knows that for certain, but she can't stand seeing him feel like he can't possibly win over a girl he has feelings for. So one day she gives him advice: she tells him to be himself when asking Weiss to dance with him, to be honest, to be straightforward. She tells him that so long as he’s telling the truth, there’s nothing that could go wrong.

It’s advice she should have taken herself, she supposes.

When the dance rolls around, she arrives late and without a partner at her side. It feels like she doesn’t fit in, like she shouldn’t have shown up in the first place. Why did she think this was a good idea? The dancefloor feels clustered and uncomfortable, forcing her to seek solace out on the balcony. Green eyes peer up to the night sky, hoping that perhaps the stars will provide her with some much needed comfort.

She’s surprised when Jaune shows up on the balcony with her. Apparently, neither of them had come with dates, and she admits that she wishes she had come with him. Not outright, of course; she says she wishes she was with someone like him. Feeling like she shouldn’t have said anything at all, she returns to the dancefloor with a heavy heart. She finds herself wrangled into trying to mingle with other students, but when she hears laughter burst from behind her, she turns to see that Jaune kept his promise to put on a dress. A laugh of her own laugh flits through the air, and she finds herself dancing with him.

For the first time in a while, everything feels right with the world.

Such moments of fun are usually just that: moments. They come and go in the blink of an eye, and then it’s back to business. As a huntress-in-training, it’s expected that Pyrrha goes out with her team to hunt soulless grimm. Team JNPR is assigned to their first mission, but shortly after Jaune receives a strange message, their plans are altered and they find themselves fighting grimm invading the city. After such an attack, there’s a need for something to keep everyone’s mind off of what happened.

Luckily, the tournament comes around to do just that. Being able to fight against an actual person instead of some soulless monster is refreshing, and Pyrrha can’t begin to explain how glad she is to be in a fight with rules instead of rushing headfirst against horrific creatures. Her performance against her peers in battle is exemplary, and it quickly catches the attention of those around her.

It’s surprising when headmaster Ozpin decides he wants to speak to her. She sits across from his desk as he congratulates her on moving on to the finals in the tournament, but then he asks something perplexing. What is your favorite fairy tale? It’s a question that throws her off and leaves her wondering why he would ask such an odd thing. Her mind scrambles for stories she grew up with as a child, and Ozpin brings up the story of the four maidens.

Ah, that one.

It’s a story her mother told her countless times in her youth. Fondly, she remembers seeing her mother’s eyes light up every time she told the story. It was her favorite, Pyrrha could tell that much. She can recall the tale quite easily: it’s about four sisters who earned incredible power in exchange for showing an old man a shred of kindness, and each sister represented one of the seasons. Winter, spring, summer, and fall. She doesn’t quite understand why Ozpin brings it up, nor does she know why he seems so fascinated with the children’s tale, but suddenly, he says that it’s a true story. Four maidens still exist within the world, granted with exceptional power.

He wants Pyrrha to become one such maiden.

This revelation is difficult to take seriously at first, but as Ozpin is clearly not joking, she believes him.

The tricky thing about maidens is that when they die, their powers are passed on to the last person in their thoughts -- so long as that person is a young woman. Otherwise, it’s unknown who will earn such powers. Amber, the current maiden of autumn, lies on death’s doorstep, unconscious and barely breathing on life support with some of her power stolen; she doesn’t have much time to live, and there’s a growing fear that her power will pass on to the one who attacked her, as she was likely the last one in her thoughts.

A trusted friend of Ozpin’s -- his fellow headmaster, General Ironwood -- has a machine that he thinks will bypass the passing of powers rule. All it takes is to transfer the Fall maiden’s aura -- her soul, her very being -- into Pyrrha's own body.

It’s unknown what could happen from such a union of essences. Would it even work? Would Pyrrha still be her own person? Would she be a combination of two souls, wrapped up into one body? Or would everything go completely, utterly wrong?

Ozpin tells her that she can take some time to decide on whether or not she wants to undergo the procedure, and she decides to take as much time as she can to figure out what to do.

The thought of becoming the Fall maiden weighs heavily on her mind. The weight of the world feels as though it rests upon her shoulders. Her stomach ties itself into knots when she thinks about how she may not even be her own person. Bile is swallowed back when she realizes that becoming the next Fall maiden means taking another person’s soul, effectively destroying the person in the process. Everything about this situation feels wrong and she hates the way her skin crawls as she tries to make a decision. Becoming a maiden would mean earning power for the greater good, but at what cost? What kind of price would she pay for interfering with another’s life in such a manner?

It’s all she can think about when she’s fighting in her next match at the tournament. Her mind is racing back and forth, trying to figure out if she can cope with becoming the Fall maiden. There is no clear answer to her, and for someone who has always wanted to lead a righteous life, that terrifies her more than anything. Even as she’s battling her opponent Penny, her mind is stuck on what she’s supposed to do. Plagued with what ifs and fighting with her morals, she’s not paying enough attention to the situation at hand.

And then it happens.

She uses Penny’s own weapons against her by utilizing her semblance, but she pushes too far. She kills her. Turns out the girl wasn’t human; she was a robot, a mechanical being made to look as if she were a human. But her humanity (or lack thereof) isn’t what bothered Pyrrha. It’s the fact that she had killed someone, that she had acted so recklessly when she wanted to be so careful, and now she was responsible for murder. Horror is engraved onto Pyrrha's face when she looks to see pieces of Penny strewn along the ground, knowing all too well that it's her fault that she's ended another's life.

All she wants to do in that moment is disappear, and much to her surprise, that’s exactly what she does.

summary

Once regarded as a celebrity, Pyrrha was revered as an astonishing warrior and an excellent huntress. At face value, most look at her skill and ability as all there is to her, but in reality, she’s a girl who sincerely wants to do good. She’s an optimist at heart and surprisingly modest, given her skill and popularity. Overall, she has a good soul and would give up everything she owns for the happiness of another in a heartbeat. She’s also an advocate for people finding their own way in life, strongly believing that everyone is destined to do something and that they must discover what it is for themselves and choose to follow through with it.

After struggling with deciding on whether or not to make a life-changing decision and fatally wounding a fellow student by accident in her original world, Pyrrha has been dealing with trying to figure out who she is and what she’s truly meant to be. More than ever, she feels lost and alone, and while she does her best to carry on with composure and act as if she’s not bothered by anything, thoughts of what could possibly be going on back in her own world are eating away at her and leave her with a sense of dread and guilt that she didn’t do more.

platonic

While she’s a nice girl, Pyrrha has formed few lasting friendships. It’s not that she dislikes others, it’s more that she finds that others believe that she is above their friendship. Given that she was seen as a celebrity (and is worried that people still think of her as such in Elysion), people didn’t think that they could become her friend due to her popularity. Most would shy away from her, leaving her with an inability to become close with others. More often than not, she felt lonely and as if she couldn’t make friends easily. Despite this, however, she comes across as a friendly person, and she’s incredibly polite to those she meets, making it easy to get along with her at least as an acquaintance. She’s an altruistic person who would genuinely love to make more friends, she’s just not entirely sure on how to make the right steps to long-lasting friendships and could use some help in that department. Once you do earn her friendship, though, she’s selfless and will look out for you no matter what.

antagonistic

Those who are at odds with her good nature are sure to butt heads with her. Pyrrha considers herself as a champion of the people and will absolutely not tolerate any sort of dastardly deeds. Bullying, lying, stealing, bigotry, it’s all bad in her book. For the most part, she follows a pretty rigid moral code. She refuses to stand by and let such things happen if she can help it, so if you’re a not-so-great person, you can expect to get into a confrontation with her. If you upset her enough, she’ll hold a grudge against you, and she has quite the long memory too. While she’d prefer not to make enemies, it’s likely that she’ll earn a few along the way.

romantic

Pyrrha is inexperienced when it comes to the realm of romance. There are very few people she’s felt genuinely close with, and she’s never had a significant other in her life before, so she’s never really had the opportunity to test the waters when it comes to being in a relationship. That’s not to say she hasn’t had crushes before, though. She’s admired others from afar, but she’s never actually pursued a relationship. She’s not the greatest at expressing how she really feels about someone. Rather than being upfront, she’ll drop hints and hope that her potential partner will pick up on them. If someone treats her like she’s just another person instead of someone to put up on a pedestal, she’s more likely to fall for them.

When in a relationship, she’d definitely fumble a bit with the prospect of “wow we’re actually dating” and probably stumble with trying to be a romantic, but she’d still give it her all to be a sweet girlfriend and do anything for the person she loves.

Sooo, Pyrrha had a crush on Jaune, but I’ll admit that I’m not interested in Arkos and would much rather explore other ships, canon or crossover, with Pyrrha.

pyrrha come here so winter can give you a great big hug bc poor baby's been through so much and desperately needs one!! ; n ; these two ladies are surely going to bond over the fact that they're sick of being poised and famous. winter will definitely go into big sis mode and encourage pyrrha to forge her own path and move on from the trauma. and if pyrrha needs support over her last battle, winter will surely share her sympathies in addition to advice, since she most likely watched the fight on her way home to atlas (let them investigate the fishy battle together!!!)

not to mention, it'll be surely interesting for them to meet and bond here in elysion if they've never formally met back in remnant, but have heard lots about each other! and if you ever need to find someone who will tell you about penny and comfort you at the same time, winter is the one~

Ugh I'm sorry I suck for not getting here faster but you know I'm crap at plotting but anyway. I love Pyrrha, #justiceforpyrrha she is just so graceful and pristine, but also so sweet and human I just love her. She doesn't have a lot of scenes with Blake but still I believe they considered each other friends. And Blake hasn't met back up with a lot of her friends yet. So she would be glad to see Pyrrha, but also not because she believes she brings bad luck and her friends are all in danger. I'm not too sure if Blake knows that Pyrrha 'died' but she can if you want to deal with that drama. So yeah, they both live in Halcyon so can they just hang out a lot and go shopping and be friends, even though Blake will be hesitant to do so at first because she just doesn't want to have anything happen to Pyrrha, so just help convince her that black cats aren't bad luck. Pls. <3

okay so first of canon wise, shizuma spends a lot of time in halcyon these days [eventually] because of thoth and reiji. so it is very possible that these two could have one into one another before. obviously because no one here knows pyrrha as a celebrity i figured that shizuma just being nice and kind and normal to her wouldn't really be a big surprise. but that these two have the potential to be friendly? that's just the feeling i get and idk why but you can tell me otherwise if you want.

but the reasoni really came here and idk why this popped into my head but for some reason i want to do an au where these two are in a relationship? i'm not even sure what kind of au, like if i wanted to do it au but still in elysion, or make shizuma a hunter, or just have then in a 'normal' world, but i wanted to throw the option out there, because i think shizuma would be really sweet on her, and the dynamic of her being the hard ass fighter type nad him being the sweet doting bf it just made me laugh. so lmk what you think or if you don't like the idea you can say no of course.

ok so, bear with me as i try and get this out of my head. so, pyrrha was notably a celebrity, trained to be a fighter from probably when she was little, and that's basically what she grew up with. roy here is vastly the same, wherein he went to military academy and then was enlisted as a state alchemist--forced to raze a whole civilization to the ground, killing innocent people because he was told to. so basically they share a similar sort of guilt and it haunts roy all the time. so i don't know what, exactly, she's doing in halcyon, but if she has any kind of celebrity status then roy has his eye on her. i want to say he MIGHT want to reach out to her in some way, maybe even make her an offer to be...sponsored by him or something? or like, ask if she'd like to take a job as one of his guardians or just something you know? i just felt they were kind of similar and i need to get roy out there more and i don't have like, any plots with pyrrha, so yanno! here's one LOL

Why hello work buddy friend! From what I can tell of these two, you're totally right! They would get along and probably work well together in their work environment as well. I love all of this!!! Corrin is v confused about the entire technology thing since there aren't really any cars or anything in Nohr or Hoshido (considering everyone gets around by either Horse or Dragon >.>) and she would be very... confused. There will need to be some help there and maybe Pyrrha could be that help? I'm down for her learning to use something similar to the wicked weapon your girl has! I LOVE BOTH OF THESE I CAN'T DECIDE. Maybe training first because Corrin definitely has the mentality of 'you can learn a lot about a person by their fighting style'.

anyway we have to get these two to interact more bc like obvs we gotta address the elephant in the room of how penny got sliced the fuck up by accident. like in my mind i doubt that penny would blame pyrrha for what happened even if she did know - and sorry she doesn't know but like i have to live with her being dead anyway so like nah. i mean she prob does know that she would have died in the situation but she doesn't know it you know? either way actually getting to know penny would do wonders for pyrrha to like get over this i feel, even if neither of them really know that the whole thing was a setup from the start anyway. neither of them could have known so it's fine!!!! see!!!! penny is alive now!!!! who is cinder fall!!!! for real tho penny is gonna be real understanding about this. she doesn't have a mean bone in her body in the slightest. and once we've done that we can move onto cute shit!! penny deserves more friends than just ruby and tbh i feel like pyrrha and her would be a really interesting combination? plus you can't tell me she wouldn't get the struggle about being seen as something really important and put up on a pedestal for it and just wanting to be more normal. look me in the eyes and tell me they couldn't relate to each other. they can do stuff like not talk about jaune bc penny doesn't even know him. :/ but yeah i'm just saying i'm here for healing and cute shit and it's gonna be emo for the both of us for a while but it'll be so good cas. we'll just have to cry together is all oops.
